First bite: dough was perfect, not too thin or thick and there was ample filling. Flavor was a bit off - not in a bad way just different, like seasoning, ginger or garlic and salt/white pepper, were omitted. Still good though and we ate them cause we were hungry.

Came to Chinatown and did some research on where to eat, this one looked pretty authentic and it…read morewas! I had: - beef tripe which came with beef meat and tripe, mixed in soy sauce: the tripe was delicious, wish there were more of it and without the beef meat. - spicy and sour beef noodles (5B): noodles were chewy and plentiful, came with minced beef, pickled veggies, bean sprouts, fried tofu, and beef. The beef was terrible, it was coated with flour and it had a weird texture, I couldn't eat it. Everything else was tasty, really enjoyed it. - steamed dumplings: I thought it would be vegetarian as they usually are in this style. The wrapping was fresh but a bit thick, and it was tasty. Pricing was fine, came out to be 15000 ARS and two people could've eaten this meal. Would recommend, it's quite authentic Chinese food.

Moved and improved, from its former hole-in-the-wall digs at Mendoza 1725 (it's now at 1629, I've…read moresubmitted the change to Yelp). The posted menu is still just in Chinese. It's somewhat expanded from the former menu. And, they now offer a Spanish version of the menu, something they adamantly refused to do for years in the old spot. Clued in on a first visit by Allie from Pick up the Fork, on a solo visit I ordered "#5B". I was thinking about dumplings too, but the waitress opined that that would be a whole lot of food. And, she was right, because I couldn't even finish this. A huge bowl of delicious, agripicante, hot and sour, broth, with slippery tapioca (yuca) starch noodles, vegetables, and a mix of roasted pork and beef. I can see why it's her favorite. 420 pesos. Doesn't mean there's not more to try, and a second visit with a friend... So, he ordered the same one I'd had on the previous visit. After spending a bit of time figuring out the menu (the Spanish version gives pretty basic names, like "noodle soup with beef", and some of them are just plain wrong, so I'd gone through and spent some time on the Chinese to figure out just what each dish was). I decided on the Putien Lor Mee (Putien braised noodles) "#11" hoping that they made it really traditionally - silky noodles, pork belly, prawns, and clams. What came out was good, but only a shadow of a traditional Putien dish - it had maybe three prawns, a few pieces of calamari, some shredded fake-crab stick, and, basically, plain wheat noodles. It was good, the broth was delicious, but it was no Putien Lor Mee. 400 pesos. We also split an order of xiaolongbao, soup dumplings "#27" (which in the Spanish version are just listed as "steamed pork empanaditas". Tasty, very tasty. Lacking a bit in quantity of soup inside, but great flavor. 220 pesos. And, a third visit, solo.... Fried pork bun (fried empanada on the menu), "#25" - filled with a large, lightly spiced pork meatball. A little chewy, but delicious. 70 pesos. Spicy, sweet, salty, chicken gizzards "34A" - served cold. I should have asked to have them warmed, although cold is the traditional way to serve these. Perfectly cooked, just a little chewy, but mostly tender and tasty. 220 pesos. Who doesn't love cold, or warm, sesame noodles "#22". Usually, they're more peanut than sesame, and these are no exception, in fact, the menu actually says they're noodles with peanut butter and soy sauce. And, that's pretty much all they are. The noodles are fine, they've been lightly slathered with peanut butter, doused in soy sauce, and a bit of sauteed chinese cabbage is added to it. As this dish goes, not a particularly great version. Oh well. 200 pesos.

Waitress came over carrying a menu - only in Korean, no translated menus available. It lists about…read more15 items. She tells us that there's only one choice, the menú completo, unless we can read Korean. But what are the other dishes on the menu? No, no, not going to tell us, just order the whole meal or fuggedaboutit. We decide to go with the completo despite the fairly hefty 350 pesos apiece plus beverages. First the ban chan showed up, within moments. A nice little selection, nothing particularly spicy, but well made. The chili green beans were the best. Then the meat, a scallion pancake, some soup, and a salad came in right behind, literally within a minute or two. It took some doing to get them to bring us two small bowls to split the soup, it seemed to be a concept that was a mystery to them. I mean, we could have just dug in with spoons from either side, but come on, it's two small bowls. The meat - three types - spiced pork, bulgogi beef, and ribs (cross cut, as is typical here in Argentina) - all of them overcooked and kind of mushy. The scallion pancake and the soup were good, actually, the soup was excellent, and the best thing we ate all lunch - a relatively spicy potato and tofu soup. After all that was done we were asked if we wanted to continue with the chilled noodle soups - included in the price and traditional, but perhaps we didn't really want to? No, of course we do - especially at the price you guys are charging for this lunch. By this time our waitress seemed to have gotten less stiff about things, and she brought us a bowl each of the two different noodle soup dishes on offer so we could try them both, rather than just getting one bowl. These were pretty darned good too - you have to like the texture of Korean "glass noodles", which are sort of chewy and a touch elastic. But both dishes I'd eat again. So, after we shelled out our 800 pesos with tip, I plucked the copy of the waitress' order slip from the table along with our bill - because the order slip had the entire list of dishes on it from the menu. And then took some time at home to translate them. Turns out there are a whole list of dishes - noodle dishes, rice dishes, grilled dishes, soups - that are all available and range in price from 170-200 pesos. So I'd say we did get the "white boy" treatment. Regardless, given that only the soup and the cold noodles were things I'd want to eat again, I don't know that I'd go back.

Compared to all of the other wonderful meals we enjoyed in Buenos Aires, Cerezo Sushi unfortunately…read morecame up short. The service team was kind & patient with our limited Spanish, but glacially slow. Our food order wasn't taken until about 45 minutes after we had sat. The food took even longer. We ordered 4 out of 5 of their specialty maki rolls to split between the two of us, thinking that it was a simple order. Apparently it was not simple. We waited for what seemed like a lifetime. The music, which we first thought was cheerful, became grating. We entertained ourselves by people watching through the window. When our food finally arrived, we oohed & ahhed at the presentation. It was served on a tiered wooden platter, complete with pyrotechnics. We were excited to dig in. We quickly realized that almost every roll was stuffed to the brim with cream cheese. We chose Cerezo Sushi for a light meal to contrast all of the heavy dining we had done in Buenos Aires so far, but alas, light it was not. Accounting for what might've been lost in translation, Cerezo Sushi was not my favorite meal. I really enjoyed the wine, the wonderful interior design, & the presentation of the food, but the wait time & the actual cuisine just didn't do it for me. I would choose somewhere else next time.

I didn't expect to find myself eating takeout sushi in Buenos Aires! But we had been out on a…read moreday-long trip and eaten a parrillada at lunch, and just didn't feel up to a long sit-down restaurant meal. Washoku was just around the corner and seemed like an easy dinner option. This is a takeout/delivery sushi place - there's no seating in the small storefront, just a few chairs to sit and wait for your order. Most people seem to call ahead and pick up, but this created some logistical problems for us, so we just ordered in person. The menu is pretty typical, but surprisingly salmon-heavy and with a much smaller selection of fish than we're used to in the U.S. Of the specialty rolls in the menu, only three *aren't* salmon or shrimp (two veggie and one tuna). So the "tablas" sets will have several variations on salmon, just because there isn't much else. For example, we got the Sora 2 set, which has salmon sashimi, shrimp nigiri, salmon nigiri, the Boston (salmon) roll, the Washoku (salmon) roll, and the Queen (shrimp) roll. Don't get me wrong, I like salmon, but it's a little weird. We also got the yakimeshi (fried rice) bowl with chicken. The portion was generous and came in a Styrofoam bowl that kept our food nice and hot. The fried rice looked pretty because of all the diced veggies, but was kind of bland and needed soy sauce. The chefs were very busy filling all the orders that came in via phone and walk-ins. I noticed that they had a shelf of what looked like pre-made rolls sitting behind the counter, so your food may not be made fresh. We waited a good 20-25 minutes or more for our order, which felt fairly slow for takeout. The hot dishes are the best value - almost all are under AR$105, and our fried rice bowl had a generous portion of meat. The sushi rolls and sets aren't such a great value, especially considering the lack of variety. Getting free delivery (lazy) or calling ahead (fast) would probably improve the experience, but sitting for so long without being offered any tea or water while we waited was kind of a bummer. Recommended if you love salmon and your Spanish is good enough to call ahead for pick-up.

Second time we ordered from here. First time it wasn't too bad, but this time I had to say…read moresomething. Ordered a sashimi pf salmon and fish of the day. We only got salmon, when we called to ask they said they didn't have fish of the day so just gave us salmon. They should have called to inform us so we could have made another selection. There was no apology, just indifference. Ordered the vegetable tempura and it was almost all onion. The batter was the flavor of many previously deep fried things, it tasted bad and it didn't come with tentsuyu, the traditional dipping sauce. We just got another plastic container of soy sauce. Terrible food.

Waitress, who also turned out to be the chef, sorted through the pile of menus and came up with two…read morethat were in Spanish (on the right). It shows seven dishes - four soups (kimchi & pork, chicken & potato, fish, bean), and three spicy stir-fries (pork, squid, beef). The stack of menus happened to be on a counter next to our table, and looking over, it was obvious that there was a more extensive menu - I mean, nineteen dishes listed, including four that are marked for two or more people. Called her over and she admitted there were indeed more dishes - some noodle dishes, and some other things - it was a little vague. Cue the Google camera translator. It doesn't do so well with handwritten Korean, but it did pick up... "dumplings". Hmmm.... "Do you have mandu like it says here?" "Yes, in a noodle soup." One dish picked. Our ban chan arrived - a smaller selection that at most places, or, really not, a smaller selection that at the big barbecue joints, but about right for the places that serve other stuff. And, all good, and, no waste, as we finished it all over the course of the meal. So, indeed, it turns out to be dumplings, mandu, in a noodle soup. Three dumplings and a whole lot of noodles. All good, nice and al dente, and the filling packed with garlic chives and pork. The soup broth a little light on flavor, a sort of basic stock, but a request for gojuchang had her beaming, "You know gojuchang???" And then she gave me a rapid fire description of how she makes her own. Added a good dollop, and that handled the broth. (160 pesos) Our other choice, the spicy kimchi and pork soup, which was spicy, and delicious, and packed with both of those ingredients, plus a good amount of tofu, and a side bowl of rice to add to it. We added it all. Another winner. (150 pesos) We'd considered adding a third dish to our order to share - glad we didn't, these are really generous portions, and for the price, basically $9-10 per plate, a bargain. We'll happily return here in the future.

Easily one of the top Chinese restaurants in Buenos Aires. But, there's a trick to it. If you're…read morenot Chinese, you'll be presented with their standard menu, which is "for non-Chinese". They're not going to tell you that, but it's the case - and it features all the usual classics of any standard takeout Chinese spot in town, done well, but nothing special. Ask for the menu for Chinese people, and you get an elaborate menu, longer than the first one, of classic dishes, primarily from northern and western Chinese regions - Mandarin cooking, Szechuan cooking, Hunan cooking. From that menu, we've never been disappointed by a dish, one after the other, excellent! Service is correct, efficient. Depending on which waiter you get, it can be friendly too, but that's not a given. Still, it's not rude, so given the quality of the food, I'll give them a pass on it. Prices are high, and it's certainly one of the most expensive spots for Chinese food in the city, but it's worth it.
